About the Item
City - sun and trees
1996. Oil on cardboard, 74x85 cm
The artwork portrays a cityscape scene with a striking red sunset as the backdrop. The artist skillfully uses oil paints to capture the vibrant hues of the setting sun, creating a dramatic and atmospheric effect. The red tones dominate the sky, casting a warm and intense glow over the entire scene.
In the foreground, dark trees are depicted, contrasting against the vibrant sky. These trees create a silhouette effect, adding a sense of mystery and depth to the composition.
Laimdots Murnieks has said: "I am a sunny artist. The sun and a woman are the center of the world. It is not for nothing that the sun always comes with me in my paintings - it is the basis of everything and symbolizes my wife - Zhanna. I think that a woman is what inspires the whole world to do good deeds. I want to express such an idea with my painting - that the good will always win, that the beautiful will always win the world. That's the main thing! Neither war nor tragedies ever impress people like that, but it is beauty that gives strength to continue working and living . I was born under the Star of Happiness - everything has been achieved. Both in art and in love."
